Don't worry, it won't hurt that much your mouth may feel a little bit uncomfortable for the first few days, especially the night after you get your braces, eating will feel so weird. I remember when I first got my braces and I thought I'd be in them forever. But I got them off today! So i highly encourage you to not be scared =D



Yes it hurts... But its only temporarily. Well until you get them tighten again anyway. So it will hurt every 3 weeks for about a Day or two every time you have them tighten. I had em on for 3 yrs. The pain feels like that of a Tooth that begins to get loose before you loose it as a Kid. Remember that pain ? Well now imagine all your teeth feeeling that way for about 2 Days every Month for 2 to 3 Years depending how bad your Teeth are. Good luck !



it wont hurt my sister had braces yes it will be hard to eat there isnt needles i have an overbite too. take advil or a pain killer a half an hour before <3 or after and sleep helps it not hurt if it does and they give you this wax to help your braces not give you cuts in your mouth hope i helped and you got less worried (i'm 13 (:)



*Orthodontist, not "braces person" and don't worry there are nooo needles!



I got braces when I was 15.
It doesnt hurt at all I can promise you that. They freeze your mouth everytime they do a big thing such as taking teeth out. Dont be scared =)



i think its better to get them sooner rather than later, because the sooner you get them on the sooner they will come off. i got mine when i was 14 and im 16 now, and i still have them. people have to get teeth pulled if theyre teeth are too crowded and there isnt room for them to straighten out. so if your teeth are really crowded then yes you might need to get teeth pulled, if not then you wont. i didnt need any pulled. they will numb your gum first before they pull it out.

getting braces doesnt hurt at all. a few hours after is when they start to hurt, but that pain will go away within a few days. and if you take some advil or something that should help. and yes, it does hurt to eat. so when you get braces, eat soft foods for the first week.
